Along with Mad Maggie and Prestige skins, Apex Legends' Flavor 12 introduces an eighteen-player domination-fashion limited-time mode known as Control. Every bit this is wildly dissimilar than the game's basic boxing royale component, much of Control's mechanics will be strange to even veteran players. This includes how legends obtain weapons and their attachments, as the mode mainly revolves around pre-made weapon loadouts. Though, there are a few ways to better your artillery.

Upgrading weapon loadouts

Compared to Battle Royale and Arena, those in Command will mainly be left with the weapons provided in the five preset loadouts offered before spawning. These feature bluish-rarity weapons such as the R-99, Rampage, Hemlok, Triple Accept, and P2020. However, y'all tin increment your weapon's rarity and power past reaching the Rating tier goals given to you lot in-game. This can exist done through capturing objectives, earning eliminations, and nabbing elimination assists.

You tin can likewise max out your Rating to reach its gilt tier goal, resulting in both your primary and secondary weapons being upgraded to gold rarity. In addition, the attachments given from these loadouts tin also be upgraded once reaching your adjacent Rating goal.

Weapons exclusive to care packages

I major difference that separates Control from other LTMs is that you won't be able to discover weapons sitting around on the maps. Instead, players will need to wait for a care package to drop in a random location — which happens every few minutes — to notice a new gun. Expect these care packages to exist hot commodities, equally they are the only fashion to obtain weapons not found in the preset loadouts. So far, we know this includes the Alternator and G7 — each having a high chance of being gilt in rarity.
